JLG offers the 600 Series of articulating booms. These units feature a narrow chassis option for access to tight places. The 600 Series features the best work envelope within the industry; a horizontal outreach of 39 feet, 9 inches or 12.12 m and 26 feet, 7 inches or 8.1 m up and over height. These equipment provide dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds too. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these models will provide you with the reach capacity and the strength you need regardless of what kind of task has to be done.
To give you exceptional performance and drive on rough terrain, these articulating booms are available with optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axles. Providing unmatched agility and confined spaces, are the optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch. The platform controls are better and have been redesigned so as to be smoother for job site productivity and give more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the right machine for working on any size of aircraft. This model provides 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and more than fifteen m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes many safety features that you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be included in order to allow you to exit the platform and move a complete 270 degrees around the platform within a radius of 6 feet, and still have fall protection while doing so.
The Soft Touch System is another feature option that would help to reduce any damage to the machinery or risk of any accidental contact during aircraft maintenance. This package option offers a suspended padded rail that surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors which de-activate platform movement functions and the driver is warned if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Advantages
The articulating jib will enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any type of aircraft. This jib can be used in both uncontrolled and controlled areas due to steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An optional on-board air compressor enables the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. When performing maintenance outside of the platform, the Fall Arrest adds safety.
JLG has designed a lot of of these optional features in order to make the operator as safe as possible and to improve overall efficiency of the machinery.
